Twelve New steel steamers.

Duluth, July cot is learned here
that President Hill, of the Manisobs,
has just contracted with the Globe iron
works of Cleveland for the building Of
six large steel steamers for Duluth and
Buffalo trade, They are to be ready for
next seasons business. President Hill
is now in Detroit figuring with parties
there IN p contract for six more. The
size and cost OF these vessels lie not
known, but the cost OF a dozen steel
vessels of the size he will probably
build will be from $500 900 to 81,
100000. These steamers are to be run
in connection with the Manitoba road !,
although built by an outside corpora
tion, the head of which is President Hill.
They are intended for the grain trade,
to take the wheat raised IN the Red
river valley to Buffalo. This wheat is
nearly all hauled to market by the
Manitoba, and by lake and rail it can be
be carried east at very low rates. The
new steamers are to be built exclusive
|ly for the through trade, and will be

CHICAGO, July 21.-A scheme of the

The plan has heen Matching since the

Philadelphia. Dear Sir.-In reply to

DEAL ! beg to say that all such ne.
gotiations are terminated. The syndf-
cate which was to acquire a large block
of the stock of the Baltimore s. Ohio
railroad company in such a way as was
believed would be beneficial to all the
parties and railroads concerned did not
at tho appointed time comply with their
engagements and all arrangements or ne
gotiations with them are now absolutely
at an end. / have not purchased the
stock Of the John Hopkins university. as
stated in some of the newspapers, / had
an optioEson that stock, and also upon
that OF several other holders, but / have
not exercised these options, nor do I in.
tend now to do SO. This statement In
some Of the papers that | purchased
large Diocks OIL the Baltimore e. Ohio
stock Is a mistake. AS / have stated I
had options, but circumstances rendered
1t unnecessary to close them.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad com
pany, its properties, including its large
telegraph system and the ownerships Of
Its stocks, remain now as they were at
The opening of the negotiations. The
widespread public interest which these
negotiations have excited and the many
false and foolish rumoss to which they
have given rise, justify me in departing
from my usual course and making this
formal statement of their final ernina
ton. Thanking you for the kindly terms
in which you have been pleased to refer

AN APPALLING APPETITE.
Peculiar Case of a TT xas
Sheep Grower.

q ASToEIA1 Tex, July 2f-Richard
Gerfers, a rsrchman in the northwestern
part of the county, ZONES to town with
story of a very strange death which re-
Gently happened in his neighborhood.
Joseph and Frederick Blauck were two
young men living near him engaged, in
raising wool. For some time the latter
had been ailing with a disease which
baffied the physicians and rapidly Slapped
his strength. Its most marked symptoms
were extreme emaciation and a marvel
our appetite. 1t was not tape-worm,
that was certain, but further than this
the doctors could not go.
HHe could eat, says Mr.. Gerfers, "a
half bushel of food and still be hungry
lie finally grew so weak tibet he did but
little work, putting in the time sitting
about the ranch and cooking for himself.
He became a by-word for miles around,
and many %neighbors came to see the lig-
ing skeleton get outside of anything
| within reach that was edible. On the
day of his death he volunteered to take
out a small flock OF sheep and herd them
until shutdown. His brother agreed, and
in the morning FREDERICK left the house
with some 800 sheep in charge. and
swinging on his arm was q gallon tin
bucket with the ordinary Mexican fri
joles, or beans. His brother visited him
about noon and found him all right, sit
ting in the shade and watching the flock
Craze.
Late in the evening Jacob became UNI
easy at Frisderich's absence and began a
search for him. He found the sheep scat
tered by twos and threes, and further on,
lying directly in the path was Friederich's
dead body. He had evidently been walk
ing, n fallen dead as he stepped, for
his feet rested in the tracks they had
made. His lean face was In a mass OF
half-digested beans, partially glued to-
gether and thoroughly soaked in a torrent
of blood, which had welled from his
throat. He was not cold when found.
A jury OF inquest was summoned. They
rendered a verdict to the effect thai the
man died from a gorge of half-cooked
sssct.as, which had swelled and ruptured
| the stomach.
1t is supposed that young Blauek had
been too impatient to wait until his meal
was thoroughly cooked, had filed HIM
self with the semi-raw vegetables and
then drank a quantity of water. He was
sitting near q pool when his brother last
saw him alive.
